BIRTHDAY FESTIVITIES
BERLIN, March 22-EuOrmOds crowds
gathered at the imperial palace to wit
ness last evenings events. At nightfall
the streets and squares in the vicinity OF
the palace were packed with spectators
standing twenty rods deep on racn side,
who had been viewing the arrival aud
departure of the baLquetipg
guests. Through the palace win
dOws were obtained views of
the splendid scene within. Suddenly 3
blsze Of light ran along the front OF the
building and CLEANS of flames shot from
the stars and crowns decorating the front
facade. Then the scene changed and
deep rose colored lights shown out from
the gardens and flooded the whole build
ing. Presently procession was
seen approaching in perfect
silence. The students marched five
abreast. They were attired in pictur-
esque dress and carried q bare sword in
one hand and torch in the other. In
the line were the banners of the old Ger
man towns. Two students dressed in
the uniform of Won WallenSteju's sol
diers headed tle procession. Then came
others on horseback, followed by
the Zether Hu,sars, with powdered
periwIgs and white corded coats and
cooked hats suTm0unted wi white
a!Gre,teS, the band playing q simple tune
OF the nl1dle ages win touching effect in
the still u5glC air. When they reached
the EmDeror's window the HusSars
wheeled back, and the torches were seen
moving in different directions,
turning in and out like
a will-o'- the-wisp. This was repeated
several tunes with increased effect, the
torches circli and crossing like an an
Gent war dance to the sounds OF the soft,
Old-WOrid music, now approaching and
then fading away III the distance. While
the procession of students Yves passing
the palace the multitude bowed their
heads aud the Cleers became wilder and
wilder until the Emperor, overcome with
emotion, was compelled to Withdraw.
The procession passed through the town
TO an open space, where the students
sang hymn. In the rear of the process
sion was l6us row Of carriages contain-
ing Populations from the German aud
foreign universities. The students
cheered loudly at Bismarck's palace,
where the Chancellor, Count Herbert
Bismarck and Count Rantzan were
awaiting the procession. In response
to the calls of the students Bismarck
opened the window and bowed his thanks
4 similar ovation was rendered Won
MOltke at the Offices of the General and his
staff. The whole affair was conducted
IN the most orderly manner. During the
prOcessian the Emperor called up several
students TO express his grstifca-
ton of their manner of congratu-
listing him. He said he rejoiced
g~eatlY in the spirit displayed by
them. He expected much from the aCad-

stances and times were serious. After
referring TO the dissolution of the Reichs-
tag, be questioned many students sepa-
rate as It gardjng their birthplace,
the studies they pursued, the
number of terms they had com

they belonged. The Empress also ex-
